Hello
I recently moved to Arizona and don't much care for the casinos here so I have been trying to do the right research and make a debut in the online poker world but it seems I just hear one horror story after another and when I see ten people finally say this site is great, I'm only a click away from ten people bashing that same site....
So maybe you could fill me in, I'm a US player making a deposit via debit card and will take whatever withdrawal method will as cheap and quick as possible put cash in my hand. Where can you recommend me to go and exactly what information will I need to have ready to successfully complete a withdrawal

Thanks,
John

P.S. I might need to mention I'm a strict Omaha hi lo only player

I play only on ACR. I like Omaha, hard to find people who actually play it. Most people think HEY I GOT three 4's I'll go all in. They don't understand Omaha.

Well I would love to find and play against those people...ahaha

Is it compatible to use with android? And what is your withdrawal method? How long does it take, what information do you have to provide and have you had any problems. I'm sorry to bother you with information, I'm just trying to Make an educated decision without wasting time or money in the process.
Oh, and with your comment, are you saying Omaha hi lo tables aren't common on acr?

Thanks again,
John

I play on my laptop, I dont know if it's android compatable. We have some smart people who can better answer that.
I haven't cashed out yet...building my bankroll, i've only been playing for a week now.

I have yet to play Omaha on ACR (they do have omaha games). I used to play them all the time on Full Tilt and poker stars before the big ban.


Good luck and thanks for saying hi here.

Of course. Thank you for the information and it does seem like this is an honest and straight forward forum, so I'm hoping to hear more opinions on the matter

I'm only a 26 year old due who just past a year mark of being out of the military and before I make a fuss about finding a job, I'd love to find that making a living off of playing cards is not only possible but within my reach. And to do that online I'd really like to find a site that allows me to put my energy and time into playing poker and not playing cat and mouse the the company and my winnings.

if I were you would try Bovada.
Omaha is easy to find a table.
the second thing
withdraw...Both sites have a free check option per month -- deposite check fee depends on your bank.-- if you are using Dank of Amerika...I think it is free deposit of foreign checks[you guess what the bank is right?]
Bovada checks approximately two weeks.
while ACR checks approximately a month.
deposit..humm, could use bitcoin or visa card depends on the card.

well ACR is not a bad option.

but what I want to mention is ...these two sites have playmoney.
you may first try out the playmoney. - like the software...etc.
if you like these site...just deposite a small amount first.

good luck.

Our mobile application is on development. We will let you know as soon it's done.

In the other hand, cashouts are pretty fast, we have BitCoin which takes around 24 hours or less than that and they're free, checks: 1 free every 30 days and takes around 3-5 business weeks to arrive, debit card cashouts: 3-5 business days for the processing time and they're free from our end, no need to pay fees for this one. We also got person to person transactions that takes no longer than 72 hours but there are fees involved that will depend on the amount requested

There are many different Omaha Hi/Lo tables on ACR, some of them:

if you like big Prizepoools and guaranteed pays then you want the top end of WPN network. Safest bet for sure as well as a sportsbook and casino. Cant beat that. :)

Even in the heyday before Black Friday, it was hard to find good Omaha games. I like Carbon, ACR, Bovada, and BOL for sites. download the software for free and check out each ones Omaha scene.

Wow, thanks for the advice everyone. Sorry it has taken me so long to write back. My plan was to use my tax refund to bank roll my new adventure of online poker but true to its form the IRS sexually assaulted me and kept my refund. (I destroyed my credit in my younger years due to vast amounts of irresponsibility and owe numerous entities, whoops...)

Anyways, I will undoubtedly find a new way to get this going and again, I appreciate all the advice but it has raised a few more questions. First I'd like to say how strange and suspicious it is that BetOnline is rated number one across MANY different forums and websites INCLUDING and being backed by this one but I consistently hear nothing but horror stories and many negative reviews about it.

Now for my questions. I think I am going to go with the way of Bovado unless someone can come along and truthfully with some supporting facts convince me BetOnline is the way to go since they, at first glance, appeared to be the best fit for me with my specific criteria. I'm wondering though, does Bovada have a mobile Android App, as I don't own a laptop or have WiFi and would much prefer to play on my phone or some cheap tablet. Also, I'd like to pick the right site because wouldn't it be beneficial to make as big of a deposit first to take full advantage of the large percentage the website will match with first time poker deposits? This also leads to my next set of questions, this is of no interest to me but one cannot help but wonder, with these sites matching or doubling your first poker deposit, how are they not being ripped off by people just taking that free money that's been giving to them and cashing out? Also, I have heard of people depositing NO money and just playing freerolls(?) Which I have no idea what those actually are but I assume its a few free dollars or a free entrance into a small tournament. And when people use these free rolls and actually win money, they receive nothing but weeks of problems and a constant run around from the poker site trying to collect their money that was essentially won using free money. Is this true, is it something that happens often? Also, I have heard you cannot make a withdrawal without at least a 1x rollover?? I don't understand this either but I'm assuming it means if I deposit 50 bucks and then proceed to play and win another 50, bringing my balance to 100, that only the 50 that was won is what is eligible for a withdrawal? Am I correct to assume this or if not could someone please explain.

And coming to a close, I am also wondering what information I will need to provide to make these withdrawals. My license does not match my new address and I have read that this can be a problem and if it will alleviate the hassle, I will just go get a new ID. And I had mentioned earlier that I was looking for the fastest withdrawal options as possible but now all I want is what is going to be the most dependable with the least amount of hassle. I have heard it can be difficult for these off shore accounts to deposit the money into US bank accounts. So if accepting a check is going to take a little longer but will CONSISTENTLT and without any trouble get me my money, that is definitely the way I'm leaning. But again, any advice or personal stories on the matter would greatly be appreciated.

One last thing I just remembered, as I plan on going with Bovado, I am a little hesitant because I read somewhere that Bovado is moving away from Poker and therefore it's not as convienent to play there for any number of reasons? Is this true, will I have any trouble finding omaho hi/lo tables with them?

Well guys, sorry for the length of my post but I have many concerns and as playing cards is typically my source of income and casinos no longer being my best option, I really want to make the best decision as I begin this adventure in playing online. So again, any and all advice will be appreciated. Lucky for me I guess that it will take a week to get some.money together to get going, thus gicing me time to properly research and ask all the questions and not allowing me to blindly leap into anything. So, please his help.

Thanks for everything,
-John

Bovada... then betonline. Both are solid and have good cash outs.

We have a card catcher hud for Bovada and betonline. It at least makes tracking your play and running a hud much easier.

Below is a list of some poker clients that accept USA players
Intertops Cardschat Bonus Code : 1000CC

Great aesthetics on their website, however their software lacks in quality. There are not a lot of players but some of the action can be really soft. Not a great poker service for someone looking for a lot of players. If you do not have experience with playing with this particular stereotype of players, this would not be a great site for you. Soft players can be really unpredictable. If you factor predictability heavily in your play, this might not be the best service for you. They do however offer 200% on first deposit, which can make playing here more profitable depending on your stakes and amount of play.

___________________

Americas Cardroom Cardschat Bonus Code : CC1000

Americas Cardroom is one of the top rated online poker services for players in the US. They offer a 100% deposit bonus if you use Cardschat's bonus code upon signup and/or deposit. There are a good amount of tournaments and a lot of micro/mid stake cash games. There are plenty of freerolls for players who need to build a bankroll. Overall a great service with multiple methods to deposit including bankwire, western union, moneygram, debit card, and bitcoin.

___________________

BlackChip Poker Cardschat Bonus Code : USA bonus

BlackChip Poker is a mirror copy of Americas Cardroom. They have the exact same software and share most of the tournaments. The only difference between BlackChip Poker and Americas Cardroom is that there is more exclusive content on Americas Cardroom. There are less freerolls and BlackChip poker does not offer all of the same bonuses as Americas Cardroom. Although it is a great poker client, I would recommend Americas Cardroom over BlackChip Poker.

___________________

PokerHost No Cardschat Bonus Codes

This service is similar to both Americas Cardroom and BlackChip Poker. These are all a part of the WinningPoker Network and share the same software. Pokerhost lacks a majority of the exclusive content found on Americas Cardroom and BlackChip Poker. Not to many great bonuses or freerolls. This service is not recommended over Americas Cardroom or BlackChip poker.

___________________

SealsWithClubs No Cardschat Bonus Codes

This service accepts Bitcoin deposits and withdrawals only, which does come with a low deposit/withdrawal minimum. There is no deposit bonus, however a decent rake-back system which credits your account with rakeback every week. They have a history of down-time and "fishy" behavior. They have a really small community of players and there are not many big tournament structures. There is a lot of overlay in their guaranteed tournaments. Since there are not many players, there are some tournaments which have really good value. If you have experience with online poker networks it might be worthwhile to check them out in your spare time. I however would not recommend them to be your only poker service.

___________________

Betcoin Poker No Cardschat Bonus Codes

Betcoin is a part of the WinningPoker Network like Americas Cardroom, BlackChip Poker, and PokerHost. They however do not share the same tournament structures and freerolls. They only accept Bitcoin deposit and withdrawals. Their support has been reported to be "fishy" or "scam-like" on quite a few occasions. I personally have a bad experience with Betcoin Poker and would not recommend them to anyone. Their only benefit is the low deposit/withdrawal minimum requirements.
